Myopia / Nearsighted

Myopia or Nearsightedness Treatment with Vision Therapy

Myopia commonly occurs in adults, but one shouldn’t be surprised to learn that his or her child is diagnosed with Myopia at the age of 5. Myopia or nearsightedness is the inability of the child or adult to view or see clearly images at a distance.

Nearsightedness isn’t largely associated with genetics due to the fact that old men and women aged 50 and above have to deal with this particular vision problem.

It is favorably better to seek help from an Ophthalmologist regarding nearsightedness as soon as possible since it has been identified that more young men and women below the age of 40 are highly diagnosed with the problem
